Book Description:

Christmas comes but once a year; chaos never ends! Happy Halloween, merry Christmas and joyful Lumpy Rug Day. We didn’t make that up. Lumpy Rug Day is celebrated every May 3, though “celebrated” might be too strong a word. It’s the American way to create a celebration for everything, then turn it into a chore or worse, a nightmare. ’Tis the Season to Feel Inadequate is a collection of humorous essays about holidays, special occasions and other times our celebrations make us feel not-so-celebratory. It’s understanding for those who think Christmas form letters can be honest—or they can be interesting. And it’s empathy for anyone who’s ever gotten poison ivy during Nude Recreation Week or eaten all their Halloween candy and had to hand out instant oatmeal packets to their trick-or-treaters. ​

My Review: 

I was not sure what to expect when I picked up to read Tis the Season to Feel Inadequate, Holidays, Special Occasions and Other Times Our Celebrations Get Out of Hand. Oh my goodness, within minutes, I was laughing out loud. I was often reading aloud to my kids to allow them to enjoy parts of it, as well. It was so fun to read and nice to have something that was making light of the stresses of Christmas and other major occasions throughout the year. I was entertained with each chapter and found myself re reading a few to enjoy one more time before moving on to the next. I thought this was a great book to read that had me giggling from start to finish. I had no problem devour it in one day. It is going to be placed on my limited keeper shelf to read again and again. 

Tis the Season to Feel Inadequate, Holidays, Special Occasions and Other Times Our Celebrations Get Out of Hand is getting a very well deserved five plus stars from me. I highly recommend it for readers who love reading essays and who are needing some humor while trying to get through the holidays. 

I received a paperback copy of Tis the Season to Feel Inadequate, Holidays, Special Occasions and Other Times Our Celebrations Get Out of Hand from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
